Haley and Hanna Cavinder are moving back to Miami – in their workout gear. In a new social media post the Cavinder Twins show off her their amazing bodies as they pack up their stuff and hop on a flight back to Florida. “travel with us to move to miami 🫶🧡💚,” they captioned the Instagram video shared to their joint account. How do the athletes approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about their lifestyle habits.
1. Daily Affirmations
In a YouTube video detailing their health habits, the blondes reveal their days start with “no screen time,” “God’s word,” and devotionals, which are a key part of their mental health. “I showed you guys like daily affirmations. I got a whole bunch of stuff like that for Christmas from Hailey and other people. So that's number one is what we try to do in the morning. It's less screen time.”
2. Hydration
The girls also “drink water by itself” in the morning. They “chug water right when we wake up,” and focus on hydrating throughout the day. The Mayo Clinic explains that water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
3. Protein
Hanna and Haley focus their diets around “good protein.” The girls add protein powder into pancakes and oatmeal, which not only tastes great but fuels them up. They also prioritize veggies and carbs, “to focus on things that make our body feel good on the court, off the court and just overall throughout our whole life.” According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.
4. 10,000 Steps Per Day
“Another healthy habit that we try to do, even after a game, after anything, is to get a workout in get your body moving. Like I just love to move my body even like on an active rest day,” the girls revealed. “I always try to get my 10,000 steps. It's not only good like physically but mentally. Like it's something that's really important. And I think like even just going outside, like moving, seeing the sunlight, like seeing the sunlight, like it just like helps and brings serotonin into your life.” A 2018 study published in the journal Obesity found a link between walking 10,000 steps a day and weight loss and weight management. Other studies published by the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) in JAMA Neurology and in JAMA Internal Medicine also linked walking 10,000 steps a day to less dementia and less cardiovascular disease overall, with less heart disease, less heart failure and fewer strokes.
